The taiwanese reception staff, mei yu is such a dear. She helped us to book the bus from yufuin to nagasaki ( alternative route) as the bus from yufuin station to Kusu IC is fully booked ( can only call to book , no website to book, urgh..). She's friendly and very helpful. Very good location. Next to the bus station. Rooms are on level 2 and above. Unfortunately, there are no lifts and you have to bring your bags up yourself. Rooms have 4 beds, 2 on the upper level and 2 platform bed at the lower level. It has light switches and charger next to bed. Convenient to charge your phone. But the location of the light switch could be better positioned in the middle of the bed, rather than eye level. The night light will shine into your eyes. Platform beds are more suitable for younger family. There are steps to each toilet/ bathroom. Remember to bring your own coffee & tea as they don't provide them in your room as they run a cafe at level 1. They have happy hours for hotel guests at certain time. 7-11 is just next door, very convenient if you need to pick up some last minute food. The restaurants closed quite early her at about 4-5pm. Only a handful are open till 9pm
